Unbreakable

Superbad Good!

Olivia Wilde makes her directorial debut with sharp high-school comedy Booksmart – a girl-power spiritual successor to Superbad that got rave reviews at SXSW.

Positive Influencer

Real, relevant and riotously funny, Eighth Grade is the first great coming-of-age movie for the Instagram era, and a launchpad for two exciting new voices in American filmmaking. But, you know, NBD. Total Film gets schooled by writer/director Bo Burnham and the film’s breakout star Elsie Fisher.

Jonah Hill

After making a name for himself with a string of memorable comedy roles, Jonah Hill refused to be typecast and instead landed awards-attracting work – Moneyball, The Wolf Of Wall Street – with some of the greatest directors around. Now, the transition continues as he turns writer/director with Mid90s, a painfully authentic coming-of-age tale.
